lyrics

Close your eyes,
and let your body be
Thee’s a better world
you were made to see.

And when you forget your troubles
and you fall asleep.
I’ll be right here,
come back to me.

Ask all my questions
To the Unknowns above,
I keep my root below me -
I am grounded I’m in love.

And when they give me all the answers
I’ve been dreaming of
I take them to tomorrow
when I wake they will be gone.

I don’t want to think about it,
I don’t want to talk.
It goes in the same circles,
And I’ve been awake too long.

And I can sense a darkness here,
I’ve seen this kind before.
And every time they call it love,
I fade a little more.

Fade away,
into the fantasy,
Holding all the pretty words,
About how things could be.

But right before I fall,
Before I make a home here
You’re changing all the locks
A warm welcome is unclear.

And the roots are overgrown.
Nothing new can grow dear.
And I’m banging on the walls,
In all the spots you can’t here.

I don’t want to think about it,
Let me drift away.
I’ll keep all of my dreams about you
Someplace where it’s safe.

And I wish they could see it,
Where I keep them in my mind.
Because all the love I ever gave,
Sleeps but never dies.
